We have to do this because the UCP banned electronic vote tabulators at the behest of it’s conspiracy-addled base. It’s almost like it was designed to reduce trust in the system.

Should Danielle Smith be able to order your local council to vote to approve rezoning for a massive AI data centre? And threaten to fire your democratically elected mayor if they vote against it? This latest provincial overreach isn't about density. It's about your legal right to a fair hearing.

No, Mark Carney isn't just like Stephen Harper on climate and the environment, as some have argued lately. But he's not like Justin Trudeau either. That's a good thing, as far as climate policy is concerned. Today's announcement proves it. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/05/15/o...

On climate, Mark Carney is no Stephen Harper
The prime minister is relaxing environmental regulations, reducing the industrial carbon price and talking up the importance of pipelines. He's also doing more to implement durable and lasting climate...
